    Hello @yu88, some dialog boxes are fixed and cannot be resized. Recommended resolution is 3840x1600 which works fine at my end.

    Can you try Reseting the UI to Default once by going to View > UI Settings > Reset UI to Default? 

    Also, try renaming your allegro.geo file in your pcbenv folder

    i did set this to my OS system variable (since 17.2). Now i try to remove it and it solved the problem!!

    So i think maybe Cadence improve high resolution display in 17.4 and we dont need "ALLEGRO_HIGH_DPI_ENABLED variable to 1" anymore.

    thanks for all your inputs. =)
